As David Berenbaum is writing the screenplay I wonder if there is any connection to the Kith & Kin graphic novels by Holly Black she co-wrote the Spiderwick Chronicles which Berenbaum adapted for the screen.

But if you would like to read Dunsany, I recommend the stories that are in some ways the least "Dunsanian," as that word has been popularly defined: "The Kith of the Elf-Folk," "Blagdaross," "The Development of the Rillswood Estate."

Next week look for a serialized novelette by Joe R. Lansdale featuring the anti-heror from his cult horror novel, Dead in the West, to celebrate the forthcoming release of his standout new collection, The Shadows Kith and Kin.
